Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tonight I cried the tears of a child

Who knows what fear runs deep and wild inside

But the river's in flood tonight

I lay down and the light streamed across my face

I felt the beauty of some deeper grace and I tried

To find my way to the other side

[Verse 2]

Now I feel your skin, as smooth as silk

Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk

Take me down under the wishing tree

Lay your healing hands on me, on me

[Verse 3]

Been a long time ridin' this deserted train

There's no messiahs out here, baby

But I found the holy grail all right

'Cause I'm lyin' in your arms tonight

[Verse 4]

Yeah, I feel your skin, as smooth as silk

Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk

Take me down under the wishing tree

And lay your healing hands on me, on me

[Verse 5]

Oh

Oh

[Verse 6]

Yeah, I feel your skin, as smooth as silk

Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk

Take me down under the wishing tree

And lay your healing hands on me

[Verse 7]

Lay your healing hands on me, whoa

Lay your healing hands

Lay your healing hands on me, whoa

Lay your healing hands on me, on me
